Summary

Fun for a couple of games

The Good

Anticipation is a game similar to Pictionary. It's simple, and it's fun to play with a bunch of people. There's a large variety in drawing types and they get harder as the game goes, making sure the game can't be won too quickly. Four people can play, using only two controllers, so you don't need a four-score. It's just good fun to play with friends.

The Bad

There aren't enough drawings. After a few games, whoever played those games will know all the low level drawings without any lines made. This makes it hard to play with people who have never played before. It's impossible for beginners to take on anyone who's played two or more games. Other than that the only problem I have is with the repetitive tune that is constantly played.

The Bottom Line

If you never play this game on without four people and only rarely, it's a video board game masterpiece. Most people play the games they own though so that really isn't much of a solution. It's not like the lack of drawings makes the game less fun when you're with someone who knows them though. The gameplay is really fun to play and an enjoyable experience when you play with a bunch of people. Overall, it's a worthwhile game.
